These are the latest spy shots we received from the 2015 Hyundai Sonata (codenamed LF), that was scooped in Sweden, showing his interior completely undisguised and also testing for the first time the updated Hybrid variant of the next-gen sedan.
[ads id=”0″ style=”float:left;padding:5px;”]Looking ath the interior, we can see a clear reminescent in design than the RWD premium sedan, the Genesis. The steering wheel, some parts of the dashboard. The Hybrid variant was testing security system like Vehicle Stability Management, Hill Holder, etc…
The Sonata LF Launch Event is scheduled for March 18, 2014. There will be two engines available at launch, both known, 2.0 T-GDi and 2.4 Theta II GDi with 274 hp and 201 hp respectively.
Both engines will be mated to a six-speed manual and for the first time, with a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission DCT. An updated Sonata Hybrid variant and rumored first-ever Plug-in HybridSonata model is still in consideration.

Interior is nice. Not as swoopy or stylish as the last generation but seems a bit upscale in contrast. The only quip I have is, why not have the one up one down a la Genesis on the centre console vents?
